Broke down and bought the SFN40 for trimming new house, but the Senco nails seem to only come 4,000 to a box (at Home Depot). I want a variety of sizes, so thats a LOT of nails. PC and Bostitch come in smaller packages, but will they work OK (PC package says it will)?? Any advice/insight would be appreciated.

Hitachi nails work fine too. If you get a box of 4000 8d you'll use most of them up on a new house, I bet. Don't know about other brands.

*Crusty, Angled PC 16g work in my SFN40. But, I buy generic ( Fas'ners Unlimited, I think) at Lowe's. 5000 per box of 2 1/2" for 27 bucks. They work in our PC, too.
*I bought a box of the 8d's but was wanting "some" of the shorter ones also. Also bought some PCs which seem to work fine. Can't see any physical difference between the Senco's and the PC's -- didn't have time to look closely at the Bostitch.Is there any significant difference between the "basic bright" and the galvanized for interior trim work??
*We shoot Senco or PC nails in either gun except the 18g. It seems that nobody's but Senco will shoot in thier 18g Senco gun. I can shoot everything from Senco or PC in either gun........excet 18g. Ed.
*I bought some sticks of odd sized nails for my SFN40 at my local ACE hardware store that has a rental area in the back. I think they ran from about $.60 to $1.50 or so depending upon size and type. I haven't figured out just how much more expensive they are that way, but it keeps me from having a rusty cases of seldom used sizes sitting around.
